The present paper treats the backflow vortex structure observed at the turbomachinery inlet at reduced flow rate. It is caused by the roll-up of the shear layer between swirling backflow and axial main flow. In order to verify this, a simple model test was carried out in which the effect of impeller was represented by an axisymmetric swirling backflow. In the present paper, the flow field of a simplified model test is simulated by using LES calculations to investigate detailed flow structure. The computed results are compared with experimental results.
